SESSION TYPES

WORKSHOP

(60 Minutes)

COMMUNITY CONVERSATION

(60 Minutes)

SPARK

(30 Minutes)

Interactive sessions with activities that involve participants.

This is a different type of session where participants spend time in small or large group conversations about a specific critical topic. Skilled facilitators introduce the topic and set the stage for discussion rather than sharing subject matter expertise.

Quick informational presentations with key takeaways.

LEADERSHIP INTENSIVE

(2 Hours)

STORY SHOWCASE

(7 Minutes or Less)

Leadership Intensives are deep dive experiences for current and emerging leaders with content focused on (must select one of the following):

equity and inclusion (CKSC 6)
family, school, and community relationships (CKSC 7)
program planning and development (CKSC 9)
professional development and leadership (CKSC 10).

Our version of TED talks featuring NAA community members! During a general session, speakers perform a 7-minute talk with a clear takeaway related to the NAA25 theme - recognizing people, encouraging potential, or unlocking opportunities. Proposals should explain what the audience will remember related to the convention theme.

Submit the initial written proposal now, and if chosen as a finalist by Nov. 15, you will be invited to submit a short video by Nov. 25, with final presenters notified by Dec. 10, 2024.

All Convention content is selected to align with the Convention theme and NAA’s Core Knowledge, Skills, and Competencies (CKSCs) for OST Professionals. Please review this document prior to beginning the submission process to determine where your session aligns.

View the NAA25 Session Rubric and our NAA25 CFP FAQs and example proposals prior to submitting your proposal.
